From AMC and Sony Pictures, “Better Call Saul” focuses on the evolution of the popular Goodman character before he became Walter White’s lawyer. Details are few on what overall role Thurber will play, but the outlet notes that the character is “now restricted by an unusual affliction.”

McKean is no stranger to working with “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul” creator Vince Gilligan. He guest-starred in a Gilligan-penned two-part episode of “The X-Files” in 1998 and reprised the same role for an episode of Gilligan’s spinoff series, “The Lone Gunmen,” in 2001.
